Mon Jul 23, 07 9:53 am Newbie question: 4 fins or 6? |
|
|
Soon I'll be practicing waterstarts on my 157 Jarvis.
Currently my board has 4 fins; does having those 2 extra fins make the learning curve easier for beginner kiters?
Of course, I see kiters at the Sandbar riding on skimboards with no fins!
Thanks as always for y'alls great advice |

4 should be fine. I have been riding a board and it's only has 3 1/2 fins from a slider miss hap and it still rides fine. _________________ Join the CGKA! Membership is only $10!

The jarvis came stock with 6 the 2 extra heel side may help you go up wind. I say leave them in untill you can go up wind and then try it with them out. |
